The 2012 Cinemalaya entry MNL 143 should have starred Alan Paule (main photo) as the lead actor. However, the film was disqualified from being part of the 8th edition of Cinemalaya. Ed Instrella (inset), the manager of Alan, says that he is not angry with Robbie Tan or the Cinemalaya organizing committee.

"Kasi kung minsan, 'yang mga 'yan, excited, e. Hindi na natutulog sa excitement. 

"So, 'pag in-agitate mo, madaling mag-react."

ROBBIE TAN PLAYS CRUCIAL ROLE IN MARKETING.  Ano ang masasabi ni Ed sa mga deklarasyon ni Robbie Tan tungkol sa isyu in terms of casting, marketing, etc.?

"Kaya nga nandiyan si Robbie Tan, e.

"'Yun nga ang role niya diyan, e. To make sure na magkaroon ng audience ang mga pelikula nila. 

"Kasi, naniniwala sila na kung wala namang audience, hindi rin aandar ang indie movement.  

"Kasi, may attitude rin kasi ang ibang filmmakers, di ba, na 'Wala akong pakialam kung walang manonood!'

"Hindi dapat ganoon. 

"Ako kasi, naniniwala akong film is the art for the people.

"Mas maraming manonood, mas effective ang film mo. It's mass communication. 

"So, dapat binabantayan 'yan. Through film, we're educating and helping the people, yung awareness...

"We cannot just say na, 'It's too bad kung ayaw nilang manood!' 

"We really have to take care and develop of our own audience, and I think, Cinemalaya is doing that, been doing that, and maybe they believe that they should do more. 

"Para umabot na sila patungong mainstream na, 'Eto na yung bagong mainstream!' Na doon rin naman ang patungo noon in the long run.

"'Pag lumawak na ang pananaw ng mga tao, 'yan na ang mainstream.

    Selection Criteria should be circulated and should made known to the public before or on the actual date of making a public invitation to participate, to avoid any biased perception on giving merits or disqualification to entries or applications.
